New podcast update

Please forgive my recent absence – I’ve been working on an exciting new podcast and officially recorded the first episode this morning! Once we’re done with the editing it will be ready for publishing. When it’s officially released, I’ll provide some more depth on what to expect, but it’s meant for people who are interested in investing and don’t know where to start, as well as those who want to plan for retirement or broaden their horizons in the world of finance. I’m very excited to introduce it soon.

50-Basis point hike priced in

As far as the market goes, it doesn’t seem like much is in store until FOMC on Wednesday. There’s currently a 67% chance of a 50-basis point hike, so I don’t expect too much surprise unless the FED starts at 0.25%.

Post-FOMC rally

I’m currently planning for a rally after the decision, in which case there will be an opportunity for me to add to my short positions. If the initial reaction is bearish, I’ll wait for a potential reversal after a couple of days.

Potential bear market to follow

SPY is currently sitting around all-time highs so I’ve accumulated some short shares here. However, I am looking for a better deal as the initial short-term reaction following a FED pivot is usually bullish. Afterward, the market typically sees a steep decline in the following months. This is the thesis I’m trading until proven otherwise.
